Description from the seller
Neo-Baroque silver and vermeil chalice - Jourdain Louis Laurent (1804 - 1866) - Namur - Belgium
The flared bowl, gilded both inside and out, rests on a pierced silver openwork basket, finely decorated with foliage and scrollwork.
The stem features a prominent knop with raised lobed decoration, extending down to a richly moulded circular foot adorned with fluting, gadrooning and architectural motifs.
The piece strikes a fine balance between the gleam of the vermeil and the brilliance of the silver, characteristic of 19th-century ecclesiastical silverwork.
Hallmarks: two visible marks on the bowl, one main mark in a cartouche and a second, smaller mark. Their precise attribution remains to be determined.
Condition: in good overall condition, with slight signs of use, a few fine scratches and some localised wear to the gilding, consistent with the object's age.
A fine piece of antique ecclesiastical silverwork, noteworthy both for its decorative quality and its craftsmanship in silver and vermeil.
The photographs form an integral part of the description and complement the presentation of the items. They allow you to assess their condition and features. Please examine them carefully before making a commitment.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
Happy bidding
